[nrv-hams] An LDG S9 in the woods, thoughts

[Patrick Johnson]

Group,

Want to pick your collective wisdom on a question.  I am considering
buying an LDG S9 43ft. vertical and installing it in the woods behind my
garage.  Looking at the LDG web site all their pictures have the antenna
installed in open ground.  How would burying radials between, underneath,
and around tree roots effect performance?  For $200 it looks like a great
antenna and has received nothing but good reviews on e-hams and other
sites I've looked at.

73,
